I didnt use NCS, filled in form myself and posted it off - it is really easy. Just think of the costs saved if you do it yourself. Then came for the request for clearance. If you do need PSNI clearance, the HO will send you a letter to your address you are at now - there is your proof of address, as...

when I sent my application from NI, HO sent a letter a month later asking for PSNI clearance, and I would suggest waiting for them (costs £10) - others here have been approved without PSNI clearance request As for proof of identity, I sent a copy (they say copies are acceptable ) of my drivers licen...

You see us here in Northern Ireland, have only Coleraine and Belfast, and I am about 40 miles from each, so getting a day off work to go for and interview is difficult? When i get a ...

Re: PSNI Clerance

All Apologies if it is a duplicate post. I applied for Naturalization on 04 Jan without PSNI certificate. I lived in Belfast during initial 12 months of my stay in the UK. I guess I *may* be asked for PSNI clearance by case worker when rest of the checks on my application are complete. Will sending...

It doesnt, but the PSNI computers are not linked to the CRB computers, hence the extra check (btw costs you an extra tenner)

@ dr_raihan29

Hey hang in there.

I too am in NI. I applied 18th Oct, request for PSNI came end on Nov.

I suppose it all comes down to your caseworker, and the pace of his checks etc...

Also, my understanding all checks done then PSNI clearance last thing (I stand to be corrected)
